How the heck does one shoot a pistol grip shotgun? I have trouble shooting a shotgun up on my shoulder. I just don't see how that pistol grip could work on a shotgun.

From the hip...

I saw this post and would like some info. I know a double action is sort of a safetly feature on a carry gun because of the trigger pull, right? (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) I had no idea they made guns that are DA on the first fire and SA after that. Wanting a external safety is just for one's own comfort level, right?

I kind of like the idea of a DA first shot and SA after that. I'll be following this thread because this is something I had no idea about.

Many semi-autos are DA/SA. With a SAO (single action only) like the 1911 an external safety is a must have, otherwise you must carry it decocked. A DA/SA eliminates the need for the external safety and allows the gun to fire when in a hammer down condition. The DA trigger pull weight is similar to a revolver so there is less risk of an ND, again just like a revolver. Many consider the proper carry conditions to be as follows: SA - hammer fully cocked, safety engaged...DA - hammer decocked, safety off.
